Chocolate Cake Better Milkshake Recipe

Instructions

1. Heat-Treat the Cake Mix (Food Safety Precaution)

Spread the dry cake mix in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes, or until its internal temperature reaches 160°F. Allow it to cool completely before use. This helps avoid any risks associated with consuming raw flour.

2. Prepare the Glasses

Drizzle chocolate syrup inside each glass. To rim the glasses, dip a finger into frosting or whipped cream and apply it to the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a shallow bowl filled with sprinkles. Place the glasses in the freezer while you prepare the shake.

3. Blend — Add Liquids First

First, pour the milk into the blender (this prevents the cake mix from clumping at the bottom). Then add the cooled cake mix, chocolate ice cream, chocolate sauce, and vanilla extract. Start by blending at a low speed, then increase the speed and blend for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Add Sprinkles

Add a handful of sprinkles and pulse (blend for a few seconds) once or twice to incorporate them—do not blend them completely, or they will dissolve.

5. Pour into Glasses and Top

Pour the shake into prepared glasses. Top with whipped cream, a little more chocolate sauce, and sprinkles. Serve immediately with a wide straw and a spoon.

Food Safety Note

Raw cake mix contains uncooked flour, which may harbor harmful bacteria. Always heat-treat the dry mix before adding it to the shake. Bake it in a thin layer at 350°F for 5 minutes (until its internal temperature reaches 160°F), then let it cool completely before blending.

Tips and Notes

Using chocolate milk instead of regular milk turns this into a "Triple Chocolate Shake"—resulting in a much thicker and more intensely chocolatey drink.

Cake Mix Clumping: To prevent the cake mix from sticking to the bottom of the blender, always add a liquid ingredient before adding the dry cake mix.

Consistency: If you prefer a thick shake that can be eaten with a spoon, use less milk. If you prefer a shake that is easy to drink, add a little extra milk.

Frosting in the Blender: If you have leftover chocolate frosting, add a spoonful to the blender and blend it in—this adds incredible thickness and an authentic cake flavor to the shake.

Stale or Leftover Cake: Do you already have some chocolate cake on hand? Alternatively, instead of using cake mix, add 2 cups of cake pieces (including the frosting) to the blender and blend; this will give the shake an even more authentic flavor.

Shake Variations

Oreo Cake Batter: Use 'Cookies & Cream' ice cream and blend in a few Oreo cookies.

Peanut Butter: To achieve a flavor similar to a chocolate-peanut butter cake, drizzle a little peanut butter over the shake or blend 1 tablespoon of peanut butter directly into the blender.

Nutella: Use Nutella instead of chocolate sauce when preparing and garnishing the shake.

Extra Malt: To create a 'Malted Cake Batter Shake,' add 2 tablespoons of chocolate malt powder to the blender.

Here is the complete recipe! A few important points you should keep in mind:

Add the milk to the blender first—do not add the cake mix first, otherwise it will stick to the bottom of the blender.

Food safety is paramount here: Thoroughly heat-treat the cake mix before use, and then allow it to cool completely. This process makes the cake mix safe to consume raw and eliminates the risk of harmful bacteria.

If you do not have a packet of cake mix on hand, you can create your own by mixing approximately 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour.

If you are using actual cake instead of cake mix, choose a piece that has plenty of frosting on it—as the frosting is what truly imparts the authentic cake flavor to the shake. If you want to make it a bit more exciting, add a splash of espresso or coffee liqueur for the adults. Add the sprinkles and pulse the blender just once—you don't want them to be completely ground up.
